THE BEST DATES TO GET HITCHED
NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS…
According to Irish traditions, getting hitched on New Year’s Eve. This way the couple will start married life on the first day of the New Year. This date is said to bring luck and prosperity to your marriage.
ROARING 20S…
The angel number ‘21’ represents new beginnings (such as marriage), with the powerful number ’22’ being a symbol of turning dreams and desires into reality. As we head into 2022, the date 22/2/22 seems favourable for turning your dream relationship into a marriage and having the wedding you always wanted!
VENUS, GODDESS OF LOVE…
The planet Venus represents love, reflecting the goddess it was named after. Astrologically, Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, making April-May, and September-October a good time to wed.
PLANNING A JUNE WEDDING…
June is a particularly popular month for weddings. Named after Juno, the Roman Goddess of marriage. Astrologically, the end of June is more favourable as we move out of the dual nature of Gemini and into the nurturing nature of Cancer season.
LUCKY NUMBERS…
In many Asian cultures, the number 8 symbolises wealth and fortune, as the word ‘eight’ sounds similar to the words for wealth or fortune. Therefore, the 8th day of the 8th month can be seen as a very lucky date to get married.

DATES OF MEANING…
Of course, any date of significance for you, as a couple is a great date to wed! Think of anniversaries, the date they proposed, the first time you met. These dates will be hard for you to forget and hold great significance for you both.
THE DATES TO AVOID…
PERSONAL DATES…
Check your calendar for any dates of significance that will clash with the wedding. For example, don’t book your wedding on your mother’s birthday! Or the weekend of a big sporting event, or on Christmas Day! We guarantee that your guests wouldn’t be too happy you’re interrupting their Christmas lunch…

TIME OFF FOR HOLIDAYS…
Similarly, with Christmas, any public holidays will also cause a break in your budget. These holidays allow time off for many, and although it means a lot of your guests may be available, it also means your vendors would have to work your wedding, therefore, a surcharge or fee will most likely be incurred.
RELIGIOUS REASONS…
If you, your family, or people you know follow any religion, it is best not to get hitched during a time of religious significance. For example, Easter, Ramadan, Shabbat are holidays of significance celebrated widely.
IDES OF MARCH…
“Beware the Ides of March” has become a mantra of this unlucky date. For ancient Romans, ‘Ides’ marks the middle of the month. When Julius Caesar was assassinated on the 15th of March in 44BC, it became a superstitiously unlucky date for any event to take place.

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH…
A very common superstition to hold is to fear Friday the 13th. In 2021, August the 13th will be the only date that falls on a Friday, and May 13 will be the only date in 2022!
